Romance novelist Kris Pearson has gathered together her three current collections of short stories, added four new tales, and republished them as this bumper collection of nineteen. Some have appeared in mass-market magazines, some have been produced for radio. Most have been contest winners or finalists. They’re all clean and tender uplifting stories guaranteed to make your heart beat a little faster and show that romance can flourish in the most unlikely situations. An enjoyable evening's reading - and something you can dip into again and again when you feel like a happy escape.

If you enjoy my short stories, you might like my (somewhat sexier!) novels. All my books can be read as stand-alones, and there are no cliff-hangers.

Hello! I write sizzling contemporary romance, pure and simple. Well, maybe not that pure! They're sexy stories about couples who fall in love, and into bed along the way, just like real people do. The first novel in my new Scarlet Bay trilogy - SUMMER SPARKS - is a lusty romp with a heartbreaking backstory threaded through it. The best of both. The second is SUMMER SECRETS. I'm currently writing SUMMER SPICE, and this is available on pre-order.

I live in Wellington, the capital of New Zealand. Christmas here is in midsummer, and we use British English, so if you find an occasional word spelled differently to what you expect, please don’t think it’s a mistake. I’ve used my lovely harbour city as the setting for six of my novels and two novellas – hot, passionate contemporary romances full of love and laughter.

The three novels that make up my Heartlands series take you to meet guys and girls who live in our more remote country areas. I’ve also published two sheikh novels, as well as the current series set in Scarlet Bay – a beach holiday resort which doesn’t quite exist (but feels a lot like all my past summer holidays.) Next I’ll be publishing cozy mysteries.

In daylight hours I often work with my husband as a curtain installer (obvious career progression for a TV tech and an advertising copywriter.) We have a two-person partnership, and it suits us well. When I’m not up a ladder I’m down to earth in the garden. I have so many flowers you’ll probably get hay fever if you visit.
